Hosting a Sanctioned Dan Promotion Test

Groups & Clubs wishing to host a Dan promotion test event and subsequently apply for Kukkiwon Poom or Dan certification for candidates up to 5th Dan must first apply for and receive sanction for the grading event with an approved examiner panel.

Sanction for Dan promotion test events must be applied for at least one month in advance using the online sanction application form below.

UK Kukkiwon Office approval must be received by the host before the grading event can go ahead.

Applications for certification will not be accepted for gradings taking place without advance sanction and panel approval.

Please ensure you receive the sanction number back from the UK Kukkiwon Office before proceeding as the grading should not go ahead without it.
You should receive sanction approval within 1 week of application.
If you have not heard back within 1 week of application – please contact the UK Kukkiwon Office on admin@ukkukkiwonoffice.com

Submit your candidate list before the test

Kukkiwon certificates must be applied for within 10 days of test

Kukkiwon certificates must be applied for by the lead examiner within 10 days of conducting the promotion test.

(Note: For British Taekwondo clubs hosting a Regional Dan promotion test, all candidates must be British Taekwondo members and all examiners must be current British Taekwondo members with indemnity insurance & DBS / PVG / AccessNI)
